A big “Hello” to everyone inquisitive enough to visit my home page; it’s great to meet you. I hope you’ll stay long enough to visit my other pages on Short Stories, Art Work, Poetry, My Blog, and of course Tissue of Lies my first novel.
I intend to make this blog-site a mixture of articles, short stories, my art, and poetry. The articles will vary and will encompass life experiences, news items and interesting pieces I’ve re-blogged from other people. You’ll see from my posts (the links are above) that I have a wide interest range, so I hope you’ll join me and follow me on my blogging adventure. Together, it could be an enjoyable ride.
I’m not sure if I should plug my books here, but what the heck! Please be aware that all stories, artwork and poetry are my own exclusive work and are subject to copyright laws.
Tissue of Lies
Alarmingly, Julie’s recently-met birth parents are claiming she’s a stolen child. Her whole life is a lie! SHOULD SHE BELIEVE THEM? WOULD YOU?
Paperback and eBook are available from Amazon.
Your Last Breath
“If you love to be scared out of your socks, this book is IT … Well written and frightening, the author is quite a craftsman.”

Hi Carole,
I saw “Tissue of Lies: Suspenseful, psychological thriller” at Free Discounted Books and I was wondering if it’s available in libraries?
If not, did you know that you could make it available via LibraryBub?
We connect authors with 10,000 libraries and we’re currently running a giveaway where you can win a free feature in our weekly newsletter.
Go here to sign up http://alinkarutkowska.com/giveaways/lb_jan_2017/ and we’ll do the rest 🙂
Have a great day of writing and promoting!

What a lovely site! I Good energy. You seem to be a blessed woman. Nearly 40 years of marriage? That’s an awesome achievement! I liked your post on the use of capital letters in English. Hope you’re prepared to break (tolerate those who) the rules from time to time. As another writer friend of mine once said: there’s not growth on the safe side

Thank you for your comment. As for me breaking the rules, that’s the reason I’m trying to learn. I break the rules all the time through my ignorance. Yes, even if I knew every tiny rule there was, I’d still break them now and again. I’m a bit of rebel at heart, and concentrating too much on the correctness of my writing would certainly impinge on my creativeness. I hope to strike a balance where I get the basics of grammar right, but can still tell a good story. By the way, it’s our fiftieth anniversary next year.
You’re doing a great job with those children, I wish you all well. I will look up your fiction blog now.
